BOX SCORE
ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) _ Joe Walland threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns to lead Yale University in a 37-20 win over Cornell University in the Ivy League Saturday. Walland hit Eric Johnson twice for both touchdowns. His 5-yard touchdown pass to Johnson put Yale (7-1, 4-1 IL) within 1 point of Cornell's lead 12:34 into the second quarter. Cornell (5-3, 3-2) then lost its small advantage when Yale's Todd Tomich returned a punt 41 yards for a touchdown that put the Elis ahead 20-14 with one minute left in the first half. Walland broke Yale records for passes completed (371) and attempted (684) in the game. Walland's last touchdown pass to Johnson was the 30th of his career, which also tied a school record. Johnson finished the game with 8 catches for 92 yards. Cornell could not hold back Yale's offense in the second half, allowing them a field goal in the third quarter and two touchdowns in thirty seconds in the fourth quarter. Cornell quarterback Ricky Rahne completed 21-of-35 for 254 yards, but also threw three interceptions. His last interception set Yale tailback Rashad Bartholomew up to run 36 yards for Yale's final touchdown. Bartholomew carried the ball 28 times for 123 yards.
